Vol 4, No 8 - Saskatoon Listening Sessions

We gathered together in the cool (-25 degree) weather of a Saskatoon Winter’s night to hear God’s faithfulness and our commitment to one another and to Him. Our hosts were Emmanuel Baptist Church. We responded to both last year’s questions and this year’s new questions. You will notice that this year’s responses tended to embrace the idea that individual church communities were not asking for things as much as they were offering to others.

Last year’s questions:

   • What has God called you to?
   • What resources has He given you?
   • What resources do you lack?
   • How might we partner together over the next year to see God's call lived out in your ministry and community?

And this year’s follow-up questions:

   • In what ways does your church engage and make a difference in your community?
   • In what ways does your church partner to minister with other churches?
   • In what way can your church energize or enhance the work of our denomination (our family of churches in Canadian Baptists of Western Canada) in the next year?

Two last features that were particularly significant for me were John Prociuk’s invitation to each church to spontaneously reflect on the past year and how God had encouraged and met them. The second very moving part of the gathering was when John lit candles for those churches that were not able or had chosen not to be present.

Warmly,

In Christ,
